YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

‘There’s double standards in the treatment of the two conflicts.’

Paul in Twickenham tells the Cross Question panel that a fatal airstrike on a clearly marked aid convoy in Gaza reminds him of the destruction of a theatre in Mariupol that was sheltering civilians. How fair is it to make comparisons between Russia's actions in Ukraine and Israel's actions in Gaza? Iain Dale's panel debate this:

The panel (in speaking order):

Angela Knight, former Conservative MP.

Iain Dale, LBC’s Cross Question host.

Matt Wrack, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union.

Grant Tucker, journalist and broadcaster.

John Elledge, New Statesman columnist.

The context:

Rishi Sunak has demanded an investigation into the deaths of three British aid workers in Gaza in a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu, Downing Street has said.

The Number Ten spokesperson said Sunak was "appalled" by the killing of the aid workers, including three British nationals, in an airstrike in Gaza on Monday.

They said the PM "demanded a thorough and transparent independent investigation into what happened" during the call with the Israeli Prime Minister on Tuesday evening.

Seven people were killed while travelling in marked vehicles as part of a World Central Kitchen charity convoy on Gaza’s coastal road in Deir Balah, central Gaza, yesterday.

Netanyahu has admitted they were killed in an "unintentional" Israeli strike.

Earlier on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was "absolutely unacceptable" that aid workers were killed by the Israeli Defense Force.

Trudeau added he was "heartbroken" for the families of those killed.
